Naturally, this patch'll probably break other systems. A general solution
might try one and then the other.

You could also just change the name of your BBEdit application from
"BBEdit 6.5" to "BBEdit". There's nothing magic about the app's file
name, so this shouldn't break anything. It won't break *compiled*
applescripts, since they store a reference to application, not the
name of the app.

As a general solution for not-yet-compiled applescripts, such as
those embedded in Perl scripts, I'm not sure what to suggest, other
than not including version info in application file names. :^)

Could someone use Inline.pm to talk to the Carbon API and the desktop database? Then you could look up any app by its creator code (I would wager).
